Pierre Poilievre held a press conference in Mississauga on Friday, introducing his “Zero Gas Tax” policy.
In his remarks, the Conservative leader criticized Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberal government for adding fuel taxes onto the backs of already struggling Canadians and pointed out that the carbon tax is still in place, even if it is being called something else.
He highlighted how Canada has the most expensive housing in the G7 — by a wide margin — the highest food inflation in the G7, and the second-highest unemployment rate in the G7.
He also criticized Carney’s recent comments on the United States and his shifting position on Canada’s relationship with its neighbour, suggesting that his statements appear geared toward grabbing headlines while lacking substance, as he expresses opposing views in a short span of time, much like his stance on the current war in Iran.
How can Canadians trust a leader who can’t even maintain the same position on issues for a week?
